sticker, with the lower alignment sticker on right hand side, on the back of door. Keep sec- tions aligned and fasten center hinge(s) first; then end hinges last using 1/4”-14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.

NOTE: To prevent center hinge leaf(s) from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the center hinge leaf with one 1/4” – 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two holes.

NOTE: Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.

Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.

Important: Push & hold the hinge leafs securely against the sections while securing with 1/4”-14 x 5/8” self tapping screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leafs and the sections.

allowing the drawbar operator bracket to slide between the section and the strut.

NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist- ing drawbar operator.

10	Drawbar Operator Bracket
	Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

Note: If you’re installing a drawbar operator, the drawbar operator bracket must be mounted and secured prior to installing top section.

Important: when connecting a drawbar operator type garage door opener to this door, a Wayne-Dalton operator/ drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any strut provided with the door. The installation of the drawbar operator must be ac- cording to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly.

Remove, but retain (4-6) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws from the center of the strut,

the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the graduated end hinge and center hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position flag angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat same process for other side.

Important: the dimension between the flag angles must be door width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for smooth, safe door operation.

For Quick Install Track:

Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.

For Fully Adjustable track:

Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.
